I see the diference Wombat. It takes you straight to your computer file menu now, as you said, instead of to a page with multiple spots which you select your pics then there was a choice of what to do with them which, I believe, use to confuse some people.

Cheers

Jon

BTW, Good morning Marj and Wombat.

Is this why there are so many on here who put up oversized photos etc. They had no idea thats how you do it.

HW, no, I think if you upload pics here from another web site like PhotoBucket they will still be large if the poster has not resized inside of PB

I used to put a tick in the box that said Attach Image and the the browse box came up, how long have you have the Attach BUTTON?

Did what you said Womby - this is what I have always had on screen. Did what I have always done again - and it worked again.

Yes, the attach poll has gone, Cindy must be making some changes, RL maybe you could try a restart of your computer, then come back in again

OK RL that explains that one

Have gone and and found it exactly the same as its always been. Will upload a photo and see what happens. Have you found something somewhere else wombat?

Happywanderer · The Master

That has always been there, what were you doing before.
Click on Attach image, click on browse on your computer, find photo, upload.

_wombat_ · Master (of Mischief)

this is what it used to look like,

_wombat_ · Master (of Mischief)

yep, I think it's new so I say thank you Cindy, it misses out on the step where you have to browse, but you still have to select the pic you want to upload but I think a lot of people will find it easier, especially people like Dougwe biggrin

Happywanderer · The Master

Sorry, wrote before your last post, BUT mine hasn't changed. The same as I described above.

Happywanderer · The Master

Just went back in for a 2nd time. Mine is the same as its always been. Nothing has changed.

Attach Image, browse, find photo and click on it, upload photo by clicking on Submit post.

_wombat_ · Master (of Mischief)

OK HW, try this hold down your Ctrl key at the same time as pressing F5, see if that will reset your screen

Happywanderer · The Master

Did that wombat. Mine hasn't changed. Attach Image, Browse, find photo click on it, Submit post.

You asked how long have I had the attach image button? Since I joined this site.

jules47 · The Happy Helper

Ok - this is what I have been doing all the time - nothing new - the "attach image" button has always been there - but it worked this time.
Hope it keeps working!

_wombat_ · Master (of Mischief)

when you guys say the attach button, was that button always there or did you have to put a tick in a box and then select attach image?

Gday...

Hey Wommie ... what you have shown there as "the old way" is EXACTLY how it still appears to me today ! hmm cry

And for what it is worth, this box I am now typing in for a "new topic" is FULL PAGE and not just the smaller box it used to be. hmm cry

verrry interestin'

Cheers - John

yes I am also getting a full screen effect

rockylizard · Guru

Gday...

Did that Wommie ... and no change ... still full screen and the old radio buttons are there to select 'email me' & 'attach image' .... however, the radio button giving me the option to 'attach poll' has gone cry

Cheers - John

rockylizard · Guru

Gday...

Please ignore part of previous message cry ... 'Attach Poll' is still there if I begin a 'new topic'

Cheers - John

rockylizard · Guru

Gday...

Rebooted Wommie ... no change ... from the comments on this thread I think it appears you are the only one who sees the change for uploading photos. Although, I have never found the 'upload photo' methodology a problem - as it was (and still is biggrin )

Having said that, the 'full screen' reply box/new topic box is a change.

Cheers - John

_wombat_ · Master (of Mischief)

Hmmmmm I have just emailed Cindy to ask if the button is new confuse

Happywanderer · The Master

No wombat, nothings changed for me. Still click on the little thing beside the Attach Image which opens up the Browse below it.
Did the ctrl F5, nothing changed.
The Poll option is only there when you start a new topic, not when you are replying in an existing topic.

so that I can get this in my mind (cos I'm only a wombat) biggrin

when you say 'click on the little thing beside the Attach Image' do you mean put a tick in the little square box?

I am using Vista, just fired up a Win 7 system and I am still getting the attach image BUTTON on both systems, not the old tick in the box option

Hey wombat, I think you forgot your meds this morning, go and take them now please, be a good little wombat now.

That's what I have been doing all the time so doesn't seem any different to me at all.

I think you are just trying to confuse us all wombat mate.

now can you tell me if you are clicking on a button with the words Attach Image(s) OR are you putting a tick in a square box and then hitting Attach Image(s)?

Dougwe · Chief one feather

I'm confused confuse confuse confuse confuse confuse confuse

I normally click in the box and that puts a tick in it.

I just tried clicking on the wording and that put a click in the box. confuse confuse confuse confuse confuse confuse

Sheba · Guru

Mine is the same as Marj's Wombat. Been that way from the beginning. No change, except somewhere along the way the size of Pics. changed. Never used to have to re-size originally.

I use XP.

Cheers,

Sheba.
